Council on Occupational Education, Inc. v. Keats (In re Decker College, Inc.)

(6th Cir. Sep. 4, 2014)

The Sixth Circuit dismisses the Council’s appeal of the district court’s order affirming the bankruptcy court’s finding that the Council had made “factually erroneous” statements to the Department of Education when it stated that it had not approved certain programs of the debtor college. The district court had remanded to the bankruptcy court for further proceedings. Because the district court’s order was not final and no request for certification under Civil Rule 54(b) or 28 U.S.C. § 1292(b) had been made, the Sixth Circuit did not have jurisdiction to hear the appeal. Opinion below.
